 Video under the title ‘Wikis in plain English – 2007’ provides a lot info about Wiki. Now a days we are having our own groups on Whatsapp so this kind of conversation seems like old school still it was a kind of revolution back then. First few seconds showed us demerits of emails and reasons behind booing it. There was not one platform where all come together. That was fulfilled by Wiki. It is easy to access to all and all come together at their own comfort and time. Coordination is the biggest plus point of it. Everyone shares their part or thought whenever they want. It was shown by the example of camping friends. Editing is so easy in it. One can put Link, that is another secret of it. These features of it makes Wiki biggest encyclopedia of the world.
